[Verse 1]
The years wore through us both together
Words, it seems, don't make good seams
Like thin and cheap imitation leather
Tearing away from this old routine
[Pre-Chorus]
(Now I keep on trying)
To forget what you said
But not how you said it
(Retracing every line)
In every letter you sent
Till I can finally admit it
[Chorus]
(Got all these scattered pieces)
Pieces that don't go
(With all the other pieces)
Pieces that I know
(Got all these scattered pieces)
Pieces that don't go
(With all the other pieces)
Pieces that I know
[Verse 2]
I tried holding on through the weary weather
But now it seems we don't fit that dream
Like colors fade in a vintage sweater
All that remains are glitching memories
[Pre-Chorus]
(Now I keep on trying)
To forget what you said
But not how you said it
(Retracing every line)
In every letter you sent
Till I can finally admit it
[Chorus]
(Got all these scattered pieces)
Pieces that don't go
(With all the other pieces)
Pieces that I know
(Got all these scattered pieces)
Pieces that don't go
(With all the other pieces)
Pieces that I know, yeah
[Verse 3]
Memories flash before my eyes and I can't take it
Knowing the words you said were lies and seeing you fake it
You fed me hope so I'd exhale, told me patience would prevail
I held on tight, but slipped away from all of you and everything
[Chorus]
(Got all these scattered pieces)
Pieces that don't go
(With all the other pieces)
Pieces that I know
(Got all these scattered pieces)
Pieces that don't go
(With all the other pieces)
Pieces that I know, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
(Ain't prayin' to a savior for us)
These pieces they don't go
(Just lookin' for a stranger to trust)
With any pieces that I know
(Ain't prayin' to a savior for us)
Your pieces just don't go
(Just lookin' for a stranger to trust)
And give 'em all I am
